![]() Once again, listening to ATR brings sense to the cacophonous noise that is the Rachel/Zenyatta conversation. Thanks, Steve. I'd be surprised if that was Calvin's decision which was thrown out there as a possibility. I still feel like it's Asmussen.

![]() No excuses here, she should've put that filly away even if UB did get the jump on her.
As for the ride, I think the connections might've been a little paranoid about chasing fast fractions like she did in New Orleans. There appeared to be a lot of speed on paper today, but it just didn't materialize. Still, whatever the plans were, Calvin should've realized how slow they were going and just let her roll. |

![]() I was just reading the Crist blog and he brought up a good point. Which brings me to this question.
Question: If Rachel and Unrivaled Belle ran something in the 105 beyer figure range, are people still going to say Rachel is not as good as last year? It's not unreasonable to think that Unrivaled Belle just improved. |

![]() And? Arson Squad is a rat. As a matter of fact, every horse in that race was bad. Flying private in the exacta?

![]() Uh oh, according to Tim Layden from SI, Jess was asked about Calvin's future on Rachel and he said "That's not decided." I was afraid of that.
